Errand day tomorrow. If things go right, I may finally have more than 1 knife by tomorrow evening!

Obligatory fuck the government for just deciding that everyone under the age of 18 has no reason to want a knife except murdering people at train stations. Stupid rich arseholes

Edit: editors note: Baku means today, not tomorrow

Oh, sorry. I've never seen your offers before, I don't think

Personally, I do kind of like the human touch, as you put it. Makes me feel like I actually contribute something to the community, anyway

By the way chud, I get the weather from the BoM, and they seem to have an API (though it seems to be more of a mindfuck than most). I believe AccuWeather has an easily accessible API as well. You could pull the weather forecast from that

Not really related, but you reminded me that one of my workers from 2 places ago (the last resi) called me "Sherlock" for 4 and a half years. She told me how to do something I was already in the process of doing, so I said "no shit Sherlock" (I was 12. This was 2019.) Then I became the Sherlock lol. I saw her a few months ago, and I was still Sherlock lol

Sounds like a solid idea! Just chuck me a heads up so I don't steamroll BotBot2

Also, if keeping the PC constantly running eats up too much electricity or space, I'm happy to host it on a VPS I already have. It's in melbs, so still local. I'm too much of an idiot to figure out how to get the code actually working though, which is why I've never done it

Basically: if you do all the work and figure out what needs to be done to get it working, I'm happy to pilfer it, host it myself, and claim all the credit 😁 /j

Edit: since you asked, and I forgot to answer, but also offered: if you ever did hand over any form of code to me (or really anyone else from the DT) make sure that the bots email/password aren't hard coded in the code. No matter how well you know or trust someone, there are very few situations you should hand them this info. The exception maybe being if somebody is helping with you over a call or something. Even then, I'd probably recommend you only do that if you have to, and you know personally know them IRL. But you probably know all of that already. Never hurts to reinforce it though

Indeed, and I definitely did use spaces!

Think they're making a joke about me using hyphens instead of a colon or semicolon

I think, anyway

Sorry maggies. Biggest hugs 🫂♥️

I think so, but I've seen it used that way a fair bit. It seems to be more commonly used than just Aotearoa

Ok

Bummer! They are pretty good!

So, I'm not normally a fan of Christmas fruit mince pies, BUT the local iga didn't sell them all during Christmas time so they had them on clearance for 50c for a 6 pack last night!

Certainly beats the other thing they had on "clearance" which was a packet of shapes for $3

This is my view as well. You've already paid for the books. You've already supported him. Putting them in the bin doesn't unsupport him. Although if it's only going to bring you sadness seeing them on your bookshelf, or you don't think you'll be able to read them again knowing what sort of person he is, maybe a donation to an op shop might be an option.

I dunno. Donating the books is the option I'd choose, but it depends on your own beliefs, values, and moral compass. Personally, I don't see it as supporting his work, because no money goes from the resale back to him or his agents in any form. And I'm pro preservation, and see destroying works created by awful people as throwing the baby out with the bathwater. But there's also the angle that you could be introducing and enabling the spread of his works

Thanks for the actual answer! I appreciate you

Gotta have a definition before it saves! It's a required field in the memory bank

Uninstalled all the fast food and delivery apps today. Who could possibly be anything resembling healthy when KFC's sending you 30 nugget for $10 deals?

What's awastin

Yeah I'd 100% go for it. Even if the commute does suck, maybe in a year or two you'll be able to use your experience to get a similar job in your area

Cheers. I might try my luck, see if they're interested

I'm still not sure how they'd get around the "strata" thing though. The NBN seem to be very difficult to contacy
